Hi all, especially rcrsn51 and simargl,
Happy to report that printing works in alphaOS after installing rcrsn51's printing package and then using ppet to install printer drivers for my Canon MP640 all-in-one printer. Peasyscan also works over the network. For the records, I downloaded canon_mp640-3.20.pet and cups-bjnp-1.0.pet from:

Thanks guys.

My next wish is to see openshot in the alphaOS package manager

Hmmm, posted this a couple of days ago - but where did that post go? Grits teeth and tries again. I have run this iso (alphaos4) on a couple of laptops with radeon video. In both cases the system booted but was unusable as X was a mess of blobs. Wouldn't switch to a console, and I didn't see a point during boot where a kernel parameter could be added. I guess this is a 'no modeset' situation. The only way out was to power cycle. Compaq V2000 with Radeon XPress and a ThinkPad R40 with Radeon Mobility. Any suggestions about this? AlphaOS would likely go well on these machines, but sadly this problem means I may never know.

Uninstalling isn't a big matter. Just remove the savefile and a fresh install.
I'll give this a try later. Thank you.
I did notice the driver was for an older kernel though. So don't know how that will manage.

I think you maybe need some firmware file from that package, because kernel module is already installed

Hi gnomic, try to make frugal install and then add nomodeset parameter to menu.lst.
